I was having the same so I got a Meter to check, got rid of fish pond, put in led lights instead of halogen, got a creel above the log burner, turned off all electrical stuff instead of leaving on standby (my daughter had moved out 12 month before and I discovered she had left the tv in her room on standby for that period) got a kettle for the stove, made the compressor in the workshop airtight, no leaky pipes.

It has at the very least halved my electric consumption and bill

After deciding to sort money out and streamline costs ive been looking at fuel costs at home gas = nothing

heating = own logs

electric = £700

Do you have an Immersion heater? If so do you leave it on all the time?

 

Turning ours off when we didn't need it on (we don't need to reheat water from 20:00 - 16:00) saved us over 40% of our usage from day 1.

I've been paying £188 a month for electric, we worked out that the immersion was probably the worst offender so we had an electric shower fitted and we've gone from 44 units per day to 22 units per day I just wish I'd have done it years ago

Have you tried turning off all your electrical items in the flat then watch your meter to make sure it stops? you might have a leak.
